Celebrating the Viterbi Algorithm Through Art

Fifty years ago, Andrew Viterbi, USC Electrical Engineering Alumnus and founder of Qualcomm, invented the Viterbi Algorithm. Without it, nearly all forms of modern communication would be impossible. In celebration of the algorithms golden anniversary, the Ming Hsieh Institute has sponsored a student art competition inspired by Dr. Viterbi's work.

The grand prize of $1000 will be presented to the winning student by Andrew Viterbi on September 25th. The winning piece, along with others, will be on permanent display in the MHI lounge.
